Trench Warfare in World War 1 I THE GREAT WAR Special
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
The prevalent conduct of war on the Western Front of the First World War is unmistakably trench warfare. The trenches with knee deep mud are a war theatre as well as home to the soldiers. But how does it look like inside a trench? How is it constructed? Indy took a look and explains why and how the trenches could be the base for a war between 1914 and 1918 and how life was inside a trench. But how did the Trench Warfare start?: http://bit.ly/11PqXLp Click here for the "Maconochi Stew Recipe": http://bit.ly/1r2vLtc » HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL?

i guess breakfast after morning raid because dead people dont need food?
-
5:50 Sleeping at your post was considered a serious crime in the trenches? And they execute you for it by firing squad? Wow that is so fucked up.
-
Why did the French and English general not read general Grants memmoris of the US civil war!
-
That daily routine sounds like everyone there went collectively insane, and developed OCD...
-
War: always elevates the best and worst of humanities traits...
-
So which job sucks the most?
The runner or the guy that puts up the wire or something worse? -
this was a dark video... literally. jokes aside, we're really a lucky generation where our biggest dramas are losing the cellphone or that a webpage takes too long to load
-
Why on Earth would anyone dislike this video? It's an informative short documentary on everyday life in the trenches during WW1, what were they expecting?
-
I was disappointed by the lack of focus on Trench warfare in Battlefield 1. I've been waiting years for a WWI game just for that reason
-
i thought moari in new zealand invented trench warfare
-
What it must feel to be a soldier on the front line, knowing your life span would not be long lived
-
10:24 High school? Working at McDonalds? Detroit?
-
Rosenberg was a beautiful poet and it's a shame he died during the war. He only has one moderately recognized poem as well
-
No mention of lice? I thought lice was a constant problem in the trenches?
-
By far my favorite Great War episode
-
is it true that german trenches were equipped with bunkbeds and doorbells?
-
Which was worse? WW1 or WW2?
-
And to think 11 years after all of this madness a far worse war started
-
Sounds like hell.
